Hennin became Lord Merchant when two of his relatives died leaving him two separate fortunes. The Lord Mastrell of his time started a personal account with Hennin, and told Hennin to put the Diem's tribute money into the account. Hennin lost his fortune causing his rule to end. When the new Lord Merchant took over he discovered that a vast sum was now owed to the Diem, the original tributes and a large amount of interest, and since a new Lord Merchant inherits all of the incumbent's debts as well as his fortune, the debt has increased to the point where it is impossible to pay back. The Lord Mastrell was willing to keep the debt secret so long as the Lord Merchant kept paying the tribute. The Lady Judge's predecessor knew about the debt and ruled that the Lord Merchant must pay the debt in full when the Lord Mastrell asks for it.{{book ref|ws|15|review=yes}}
Instead of demanding that Vey pay the debt, Kenton forgave the debt, thus earning Vey's respect. Kenton then asked for a loan from the Guild to cover the Diem's current debts, promising Vey that the Diem would pay back the loan with the money they earn working for the artisans and that the interest on the loan will make a lot of money for the Guild. Vey accepted the offer, saying he could call the fact that the Guild wouldn't make that money if the Diem were disolved a threat to justify the loan to the rest of the Guild, and agreed to vote for the Diem.{{book ref|ws|15|review=yes}} When the Taishin voted on the Diem again following Kenton's duel with [[Drile]], Vey voted as promised and it is implied that [[Gennel]] voted for the Diem due to Vey's influence on him.{{book ref|
